Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Normans' Bay, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
